WASHINGTON, FEB. Is (SpeeaD. Chairman Belmont
was "a discouraged and Disguised statesman to-day. Ho
compelled to stand by and witness the vvsecton OF
the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation bill. which
had cost him and the officials of the State Department

RETALIATION MISREPRESENTATION bfLMVNh
METHODS NOT POPULAR.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS tSpecial).-The House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs discussed the subject OF
retaatory legislation again to day, and again reached
no conclusion. A strong speech in favor Of the Bel
mont Manning bill, 1t is said, delivered by Mr.
Daniel of Virginia. and remarks the side were
submitted by Chairman Belmont and two othcI
members 1t Is understood that Mr.. Hitt of Illinois.
spoke In favor OF the main features of the Senate BILL
and urged unity and harmony ., and
Britain, by showing them that in this matter party
lines had disappeared, and that the Administration
had united people at its back Patriotic considera
tions OF this sort he thought had governed the action
OF the Senate.
II is understood that In tho OF the discussion
several Democratic members OF the committee ex.
pressed preference tor the Senate bill the ground
that it covered all the points that are necessary ana
that 1t received the almost unanimous support OF both
parties in the Senate. Chairman Belmonts constant
reminders that his bill the Administration meas.
urc and be adopted for that reason seemed not
to make deep impression. Ii Ia said, too that some
of the Democratic members have been unable to
understand Mr. Belmont's lahored explanation OF the
differences between the Senate bill and his own, or
the reasons why the latter to be preferred. One OF
them is reported to have remarked that Chairman Bel
monts the matter has laid hiin open to inc
charge brought by some OF the New England mem
bers that he simply playing gamc OF delay, WIN

II has long been an Open secret that Mr.. Bclmont's
manner and acts as chairman OF the committee have
been such TO ALLEVIATE the respect and often the sup.
port OF its members, who not inclined to submit
to his arbitrary tone and conduct On occasion,
some months ago, he narrowly escaped IA formal vote
of by the committee IL Is matter Of outside
gossip that the fOrbearance shown on that occasion
did not teach HIM the salutary lesson which 1t ought
to have oonyeyed-in short, that Chairman belmont
has not mended bis ways his manners. 1t can DO
